Start with delicious food

……

Facing a fortified city that cannot be attacked for a long time.

The Xiongnu allied forces, whose food and grass were mostly burned, were unable to plunder food in Daqin.

Even the bark of trees in a radius of tens of miles was stripped clean by Wang Jian's army.There was not even a little edible food left for the Huns.

As for the farther places, there is the painful lesson of the [-] pioneers who went deep into Daqin and were almost wiped out by Wang Ben's army ambushing them.

Touman Shanyu didn't dare to send an army deep into Daqin before solving Wang Jian's army.

But no matter how provocative Touman was under the city, Wang Jian, who was known for his steady fighting, never left the city.

When the Great Qin defeated Chu, Wang Jian dragged down the Chu State by procrastinating.

Now Meng Tian burned most of the food and grass of the Xiongnu coalition army.In Wang Jian's opinion, it only needs to be delayed for a few more days, and the Huns' coalition forces will be defeated by themselves.

So facing Touman's provocation and abuse under the city, Wang Jian drank wine and ate meat directly in front of the Huns army at the city gate.

Looking at the roasted whole lamb set up by Wang Jian on the tower.The eyes of the hungry Xiongnu coalition army under the city were green with greedy eyes.

Seeing this scene, feeling ashamed, he commanded the army to attack the city on the spot.

In order to boost morale, Touman promised that everyone will be able to eat meat after the city is broken.And allow the army to slaughter the city for three days.

However, although this move inspired the morale of the Huns' coalition forces.But Qin's powerful crossbow is famous all over the world.

Condescending, the rain of arrows shot by the new crossbow can penetrate the leather armor of the Hun allied forces with almost every arrow.

Wang Jian's army waited for work with ease and guarded the city.The Xiongnu coalition army has been starving since most of the food and grass were burned by Meng Tian.

In this way, under the circumstances that the right time, place and people are the same.The Xiongnu coalition forces finally withdrew to the camp after paying more than [-] casualties.

However, only a few hundred people in the Qin army guarding the city were scratched by the arrows of the Xiongnu allied forces.

……

The border between Daqin and Xiongnu is very long.

But blocked by the Great Wall, if the Huns wanted to plunder other towns on the border between Daqin and the grassland, they had to return to the grassland and detour from other places.

Although Yingzheng has ordered to stop the construction of the Great Wall and let the peasants return home.

However, the construction of the Qin Great Wall was mainly to restore and connect the Great Walls left by Zhao and Yan.

When Yingzheng issued the imperial decree to stop the construction of the Great Wall, Daqin's Great Wall was already close to completion.

Therefore, the Xiongnu coalition forces, which were all cavalry, could not overcome the besieged Great Wall at all.

In addition, the Golden Fire Cavalry led by Meng Tian came and went without a trace.Almost every night, outside the tents of the Huns, drums, drums, and gold shouted to the sky, and occasionally they would attack the Huns' camps.

When the Xiongnu allied forces panicked and took up their weapons to prepare for the battle, the Golden Fire Cavalry retreated again.

They came three or four times almost every night, which made the Huns allied army nervous and unable to rest at ease.

After all, Meng Tian rushed into the big camp to burn food and grass. No one knows whether Meng Tian will come to a real camp next time.

After a few days in a row like this, the Huns' coalition forces were too much to hold on.

Even when patrolling during the day, a large number of soldiers suddenly fell down and fell asleep.

Coupled with the burning of the food and grass of the army, the rations of the soldiers of the Xiongnu coalition army have dropped sharply in the past few days.

Touman Chanyu also gave priority to supplying the only food and grass to his soldiers of the Huns, which intensified the internal conflicts of the coalition forces.

Many soldiers from the Eastern Hu and the Western Regions began clamoring for Touman to withdraw to the grassland immediately because they could not eat enough.

The angry Touman killed a group of soldiers who shouted the loudest to suppress the voice of protest in the coalition army.

Seeing that the morale of the Xiongnu coalition army is declining every day.The number of deserters fleeing in the dark is also increasing.

Touman's concubine Hu Ji proposed to send the descendants of the moon wolf to poison the upstream water source where the Qin army fetched water. (The descendants of the moon wolf are a tribe on the grasslands, good at driving wolves and using poison.)

At the same time, in order to prevent the Golden Fire Cavalry from attacking the camp again.Hu Ji also proposed to put horses around the camp, and set up several towering watchtowers to monitor the surrounding wind and grass.

At the same time, it is proposed that wait until the wolf poison takes effect in the Qin army.So he quietly spread the news about the antidote to Wolf's Poison and led Meng Tian and the Golden Fire Cavalry to a dead end.

However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

Before the descendants of the moon wolf poisoned the water source, the [-] Qin iron cavalry equipped with cross-era firearms had already come to Shangjun through any door to join Wang Ben's troops.

After learning that the Xiongnu coalition forces who invaded the Great Qin came from the Eastern Hu and Western Regions respectively.

Han Xin and Zhang Liang immediately deduced that although the Xiongnu was the leader of this alliance, many countries must be wary and suspicious of each other.

Therefore, after Han Xin took out the token that Yingzheng gave him, he got the command of Wang Ben and Meng Tian's army.

Take command of these imperial troops, which together total more than 60 men.

Under the dispatch of Han Xin.Daqin's 60 troops divided into four groups and directly bypassed the Huns' army and marched into the grassland.

Zhang Liang and Meng Tian led an army of 20 to attack Donghu from Yanmen to the grassland.

Zhong Lixuan and Yu Ziqi led an army of [-] to the west from Wuwei into the grasslands and marched into the Western Regions.

Among the remaining 30 soldiers and horses, 20 troops were commanded by Wang Ben and went straight to the Mobei royal court of the Huns.

The remaining [-] troops were all composed of Qin troops equipped with firearms.Han Xin personally commanded a decisive battle with the Xiongnu army.

Han Xin was convinced that as soon as the news of their attack on Donghu and the Western Regions came out, there would be chaos within the Hun allied forces.

At that time, with the power of firearms and Wang Jian's 30 troops guarding the city.It is not a problem to wipe out the Xiongnu army in one fell swoop.

……

Soon, the news that the Great Qin divided troops to attack the Western Regions and Donghu spread quickly among the Xiongnu allied forces.

After learning the news.Unlike last time, it was just a matter of uneven distribution of food and grass.After learning that Donghu might be attacked by Daqin, Donghu's army command was about to withdraw immediately.

Although Touman Chanyu was unwilling in his heart.But in the grassland at the end of Qin Dynasty, Donghu was the most powerful.

If we really want to go to war, even the Xiongnu may not necessarily be Donghu's opponent.

Donghu wanted to divide his troops and took away the 15 troops belonging to Donghu in the coalition.This is almost one-third of the coalition forces.

But it is easy to enter Daqin, but not so easy to leave.

Qin Jun's counterattack began.

On the frontal battlefield.The firearms troops commanded by Han Xin showed a crushing force against the remaining 45 coalition forces of the Huns.

The Huns' war horses were frightened away by a salvo of artillery.After seeing the power of the cannon, the Xiongnu army, who thought they had encountered a god, became angry while shouting that Changshengtian lost their helmets and armor and ran away on horseback.

(Changshengtian is the belief of many grassland peoples. Including Turks, Huns and Mongols. It first appeared in Han Shu Huns Biography.)

Accompanied by the defeat of the Xiongnu coalition forces more and more.Touman Shanyu finally couldn't hold on anymore.Order the Huns to immediately withdraw from Daqin and return to the grassland.

However, at a critical juncture, Wang Jian suddenly led an army of 30 out of the city to stop it.

Facing the front and rear attacks of the Daqin army.

The mercenary army from the Parthian Empire immediately resorted to the Macedonian phalanx.It is planned to rely on the Macedonian phalanx to tear a breakthrough in the Qin army camp.

However, they obviously underestimated the power of firearms.

The shield wall composed of rows of shields can easily withstand the shooting of bows and crossbows.

But under the bombardment of dozens of artillery pieces, the Macedonian phalanx is not worth mentioning at all.

In the end, after paying the painful price of more than 15 troops being killed or captured, the remaining [-] coalition troops fled into the grasslands.

While Han Xin defeated the Xiongnu coalition forces head-on.

Wang Ben also found the Mobei Royal Court of the Huns with the help of sophisticated maps and compass.

The Xiongnu were caught off guard by a round of rushing and fighting.Except for Touman Shanyu's son, Modun, who escaped by chance.The Mobei royal court of the Xiongnu was expelled by Wang Ben in the first battle.

And Zhang Liang and Meng Tian, ​​who went to Donghu, also easily defeated the remaining troops of Donghu under Zhang Liang's trick.

The disbanded Donghu split into two branches, and one was forced to migrate to Wuheng Mountain.The other branch retreated to Xianbei Mountain to avoid the edge temporarily.

It's just that Zhong Lixuan and Yu Ziqi who went on an expedition to the Western Regions didn't achieve such great results.

The unique desert and Gobi environment of the Western Regions made it extremely difficult for the army to move forward.

Although the army led by the two also destroyed several small countries in the Western Regions in one fell swoop.

But in order to prevent getting lost in the desert lacking water.Zhong Lixuan and Yu Ziqi had no choice but to lead their troops back.
